Only 2 albums and yet they achieved more musically than most could with a dozen, the whole 2 Tone movement was one of the best musical movements this country has known.

I always loved the fear in the bass line at the start of the first verse, getting more confident as the verse progresses.

[@victorygarden5773]

Timeless innovative creativity. One blood, one people, one human family. We are now "living in a real gangster town" and "ghost town" also so relevant today.

[@rjjcms1]

And with the belief in many young people that they need to carry a weapon to protect themselves in these days of knife crime,when by all accounts it only serves to make them statistically more likely to be attacked.

This was one of my favorite albums while in college. I was probably one of about 20 people at Indiana University who ever heard of "The Specials".

The Specials saw everything as it was and how it was going to be...like we all did, who listened to their lyrics and the lyrics of the other great bands of their era. Nothing has changed at all. I'm ready to crack open the bottle of Gentleman Jack. We've saved it for a special occasion. The end of the world....enjoy!

[@HoldenNY22]

Yes, it has The Natoinal Front was a Rgihgt Wing Organization in the UK> I don't t think it exists any more. It definitely doesn't exist in the US nor is Right Wing Groups a real threat to the Average Person in America. I think if they would do an update of this song- and maybe an accompanying Video- it would be BLM and Anti-FA would be the Villains. It would show Blacks attacking Innocent Jews and Asians. What I said is not Politically Correct, but it is true.

[@sheilamurphy9382]

Their best song live in my opinion

[@blueschewy2558]

Definitely one of their finest efforts.

[@ColdColdColdGround]

So that leads me to this question. Do you prefer when Terry sings it live, Roddy on this studio cut or Roddy live? I love this tune live and prefer Terry singing it. Great song regardless, no knock on Roddy.

[@timbayliss4153]

This is an amusing new melodic version of this song. The last time I heard "you're going home in a f****** ambulance" was whenever we would have a laugh with one of my senior new Teddy Boys prep taker friend, at high school. He would say it whenever we talked about football, and also whenever his team, Colchester United, played any of his lower form friends football team, in the FA Cup, "I'm going to beat you up, if your team wins".

[@WaxWound]

Its the 2 lines: "You're going home in a fucking ambulance Cuz you're gonna get your fucking head kicked in" They just layered the second on top of the first and repeat it. I can't remember if they did it to scuff the expletive for the censors, but I remember them just repeating the two lines back to back in live shows.
